Hi Tony,... Yes...Lyngsat "lists" 1a at 19.2 , but if you go to the tracking page it advises that tracking is not available for this satellite. I checked some of the Intelsats , but will have to find my notes on which were out of position.Meanwhile I'm waiting for a reply from the guys at LogSat who are looking into this. Regards, john.
